German Lind Bakery accused of infringing trademark
May 30, 2016 Category IPR protection, Weekly
German Lind Bakery’s Shanghai branch has been forced to change its signs because they infringed on Swiss chocolatier Lindt’s trademark, the Pudong New Area People’s Court said. It was earlier ordered by the court to change its signs and pay compensation of CNY120,000 to Lindt & Sprüngli, but it refused to do so. The court has forced the company to comply by freezing its bank accounts and barring the owner from leaving the country. The two companies used different Chinese names.
